Question 4665 Deck General
70% to passFor a MODU with trim, an increase in GMT will cause the inclination to _______________.
A
stabilize at an angle of loll
B
increase
C
remain constant
D
decrease
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) decrease. An increase in GMT (Metacentric Height) for a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) with trim will cause the inclination to decrease. This is because an increase in GMT results in a more stable platform, which in turn reduces the angle of inclination or "loll" of the MODU. The other options are incorrect because: A) Stabilizing at an angle of loll is the opposite of what happens when GMT increases. B) The inclination will decrease, not increase, when GMT increases. C) The inclination will change, not remain constant, when GMT changes.
